Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does This Test Result Of Ultrasound Indicate For Down Syndrome ?
Just had an ultrasound today and they found that the nasal bones are possibly not there or really small. They said everything else looked great this was the only thing they noticed. They said it was a indicator of downsyndrome. I am 22 years old and 19 weeks 6 days, what are the chances of my baby having downsyndrome.
It is difficult to predict just on the basis of ultrasound, I will advise you to go for NIPT test for an accurate diagnosis (non invasive prenatal test).
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Deepak Sundriyal, Oncologist
